One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

When asked by Kahn, she replied, "Yamato went to school. She said she wanted to learn more and is listening to the teacher's lectures."

Maria found studying too boring and chose not to stay with Yamato.

Kahn smiled.

He took out a piece of candy and handed it to Mary.

The two parted ways temporarily.

Arrived at school.

Kahn quietly slipped inside, sensed Yamato's life force, and went to a window. Looking inside, he saw Yamato, her eyes gleaming with boundless curiosity, sitting obediently in her seat, attentively listening to the teacher's lecture.

There was also a notebook on the desk, which Rach gave to Yamato as a small gift. She was using it to take notes and record what she had learned.

"..."

Kahn remained silent.

He wanted to go and beat up Kaido.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. Kaido is Yamato's father after all, and the father and daughter need to solve their own problems. It's hard for others to help them.

Kahn had no such experience.

There was no stopping.

Leave here.

I can't keep watching, or he'll start wanting a daughter too.

I've spent the last two years with a group of children.

A part of their souls were purified.

……

Port of the Drum and Magnetic Kingdom.

Naferutali Nana arrived in this country she had imagined for a long time but had never been to. Only after stepping into this country did she realize that what she had thought was too simplistic.

Different.

Really different.

This trip.

She saw what the outside world was like and what the lives of ordinary people in Alabasta were like. In her previous worldview, she had never worried about food, drink, or survival, and she had never thought about the lives of ordinary people.

Wearing worn-out, simple clothes, without any embellishments or extra dishes, eating dry food, with rough skin and cracked hands, they had to work for many hours every day...

This is Naferutali Nana's impression of the common people of Alabasta.

She didn't understand why this was happening.

Didn't we agree that things would get better?

Hasn't everything changed?

A bunch of liars!

But the happy expressions on the faces of those commoners puzzled her. At first, she even suspected them of being deceived and misled.

"Such good days have only come in recent years; no one has starved to death for several years."

"I've lived for almost sixty years, and for more than fifty of those years I haven't had enough to eat. Every year I say goodbye to familiar people. Now I have no family left, but seeing life getting better makes me feel like I can live a few more years. Thank you, great Mr. Shiki."

"..."

Nefertari Nana's worldview is gradually collapsing.

How could ordinary people in Alabasta possibly live such miserable lives?!

Is this what you call a good day?!

She questioned the old man, somewhat angrily, why he wasn't grateful to the Alabasta royal family.

Instead, he expressed gratitude to a pirate.

The old man replied, "The royal family will never understand our lives."

Nefertari Nana fell silent.

She carried this silence with her as she traveled by sea train to the Kingdom of Drum and Magnetic.

"The same expression."

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the people coming and going, Neferutali Nana felt a great shock and a deep unease. Did Alabasta really still belong to their royal family?

"Were you always this capable? No... it's just that we never lower our heads to look around. We live in our own world, making judgments about those below us from a superior position..."

She was filled with anxiety about the upcoming meeting; the sensitive princess didn't know what to do.

It has been three years since the last invitation.

The old king said he had been blocked by Kahn for three years, and he couldn't get through no matter how many times he tried to call him via Den Den Mushi.

Naferutali Nana considered it for three years.

He believed it was her fault, so he secretly ran away from the Alabasta palace and came to apologize in person.

…………

The princess of the superpower on the Grand Line was received.

"what?!"

Kahn exclaimed in shock, "You just sneaked over here so easily, only to tell me you're here to apologize?"

"Ah."

Neferutari Nana nodded in reply, "My brother can't get through to your Den Den Mushi no matter what he tries..."

"stop."

Kahn interrupted her, saying, "As a princess of a nation, you shouldn't go out this way. You should be glad you didn't encounter any bad people, and glad this sea area has already been cleaned up, otherwise it could easily have caused a major conflict..."

This woman actually has a naive and innocent side.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

Naferutari Nana apologized.

Chapter 278 Hunting Roger

"You don't need to apologize to me."

Naferutali Nana fell silent again.

Kahn was in a terrible predicament.

The women in this family really like to overthink things. The reason I blocked the King of Alabasta back then was very simple: Alabasta had already gotten on track and didn't need any more effort.

The country can function rationally on its own.

It doesn't matter if you remove the king.

In terms of governing the country, he was squeezed dry.

Instead of being able to resolve the issue or communicate, that old fox kept trying to trick him into revealing information by using trivial matters or inviting him to the Alabasta Palace.

Kahn knew the old fox's worries.

But he had no interest in spending too much energy to keep dragging things out with that old fox, spending all day trying to guess and speculate about others with all sorts of tricks; it was really boring.

If I don't block out that old king, am I supposed to let that old fox keep bothering me?

Blocked for three years.

The old king of Alabasta must be making all sorts of guesses, he won't be able to sleep soundly, and he doesn't dare to come to see me in person.

That's exactly the effect Kahn wanted.

I never expected this woman to come looking for me and apologize for this.

"I don't think I need to explain your brother's personality. Blocking his Den Den Mushi will give me some peace and quiet. I really don't understand why your Alabasta royal family is always focused on other things. I don't want to play boring games with your brother. That's a waste of time."

Kahn has laid his cards on the table.

"I see."

Neferutari Nana asked apologetically, "Did I overthink it? Should I not have come?"

"Since we're here, we're already here."

Kahn treated the princess with whom he had been betrothed without any pretense, casually saying, "Stay for a few more days before you leave. I'm afraid people will say I haven't been a good host."

"Pfft~"

Naferutali Nana took out the grapes she had prepared beforehand and handed them over.

I don't like eating grapes.

Kahn accepted the grapes and said seriously, "I'm not lying to you, I really don't like eating grapes, but I'll accept this gift."

"..."

Naferutali Nana appeared very uneasy.

Thinking to myself, "So I never really understood him... He doesn't like grapes, which means that when I fed him grapes, he was just..."

"Hey."

Kahn interrupted Naferutari Nana's daze and laughed, "Don't overthink it. That's just how the women in your family are. I don't like it. You might be proud of it, but you've never experienced the real world."

"Your scheming will backfire on some people, and of course it will also fool some fools into working for you, but you should still be sincere."

In the original story, Vivi in ​​the future was using the Straw Hat Pirates to their deaths from the very beginning.

This is a real world.

How could Crocodile not know that a princess of a country had infiltrated his company, or even that Vivi's childhood friendship had been thoroughly investigated?

Crocodile simply enjoys the process of toying with the weak, relishing the struggle of the underdog until they gradually fall into despair.

This is an overconfidence.
